"Non-fiction" or "Christian interest"--it was pretty much a toss up as to where I should post this book . As you can see, "non-fiction" won out.

Lincoln's Battle with God: A President's Struggle with Faith and What It Meant for America. By Stephen Mansfield. Rated 4 1/2 stars from 88 reviews at the present time. Print list price $22.99; Kindle price $0.99. http://www.amazon.com/Lincolns-Battl...nt+for+America.

Book Description
Abraham Lincoln is the most beloved of all U.S. presidents. He freed the slaves, gave the world some of its most beautiful phrases, and redefined the meaning of America. He did all of this with wisdom, compassion, and wit.

Yet, throughout his life, Lincoln fought with God. In his early years in Illinois, he rejected even the existence of God and became the village atheist. In time, this changed but still he wrestled with the truth of the Bible, preachers, doctrines, the will of God, the providence of God, and then, finally, God’s purposes in the Civil War. Still, on the day he was shot, Lincoln said he longed to go to Jerusalem to walk in the Savior’s steps.

What had happened? What was the journey that took Abraham Lincoln from outspoken atheist to a man who yearned to walk in the footsteps of Christ?

In this thrilling journey through a largely unknown part of American history, New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield tells the richly textured story of Abraham Lincoln’s spiritual life and draws from it a meaning sure to inspire Americans today.
